Spread Knowledge !! Share Knowledge !!

In this blog, I would like to share with you the available Salesforce CLI Commands. CLI Commands will reduce your effort in creating and configuring the Apex, Visualforce, Lightning components. Refer to my previous blogs for setting up the SFDX with visual studio code IDE.Continue reading →

Visual studio code is one of the most featured, powerful code editors in open source platform developed using Javascript frameworks, node.js, and electron. In this blog, I would like to share with you the steps to deploy and retrieve the metadata from the Salesforce developer, production and sandbox orgs using the SFDX and my favourite Visual Studio Code.

In this blog, I would like to share the steps for configuring Salesforce Developer Experience (SFDX) in my favourite code editor Visual Studio Code for enabling Source Driven Development model. Salesforce DX supports the traditional application development experience with debugging (specifically on apex), CLI (Command Line Interface)Support along with Visual Studio Code.

Lightning mainly focuses on the user experience on the web and mobile interfaces. So, most of the scenarios we should need to know the information of the browser to align the design with respect to the device browser. In this post, I would like to discuss, how we can detect the browsing device information in a lightning component.

Scenario

In lightning, we have developed multiple components for different functionalities. All custom components include a lot of boilerplate code and we will have to exclude most of the redundant code by building generic function in the helper part of aura bundle. However, it wouldn’t be the perfect solution to avoid the redundancy as we will have to do the same for other components as well. For example, Communication between an apex controller and a component is written separately for each custom component, even if the components are related to each other. Are there any mechanisms available in lightning for abstracting the boilerplate into one component for others to make use of it?

From my experience, this can be solved by Inheritance as it makes the code more structured and flexible. The Salesforce Apex framework supports inheritance similar to what we see in object-oriented programming languages like Java and others. Is Aura framework built to support inheritance?

This will be a glad news for all salesforce developers who were looking for an apex switch statement for decades to simplify most of the lengthy apex statements. Exactly 10years back there has been an Idea posted on the Idea exchange for this.
